Case Study: Royal Dutch Shell achieves a competitive advantage with RSA Security's Archer GRC platform

Royal Dutch Shell Gains A Competitive Advantage By Deploying RSA For GRC

Royal Dutch Shell, a global oil and gas supermajor, was hampered by fragmented, manual GRC processes—relying on slide decks and spreadsheets—resulting in inconsistent control implementation across businesses and geographies and an inability to consistently measure compliance. The company needed a common, enterprise-wide platform to standardize controls and reporting.

Shell deployed RSA Archer as an end-to-end GRC solution, putting business impact assessments, standardized controls and workflow-driven risk reviews into the hands of project managers. The rollout produced more efficient, cost-effective GRC operations (including offshore testing and third‑party evidence collection), delivered measurable compliance, and created a competitive advantage when entering new ventures.
